Three guys with some serious chemical imbalances. Actually, the band consists of two stand-up comedians and one real musician - Slag (real identity classified until somebody asks), Malachai (not his real name either), and B. The range of music is all over the place, but the consistent element is that these guys just don't have their screws tightened all the way down.
Why this name?
Everything else was taken.
Do you play live?
Not really a live band yet... it's to easy for an audience member to get a shot off...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives bands like us - that no one would ever listen to - a chance to be heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Doubtful. First off, they'd never want us. We're not PC enough. Second of all, it's much more fun to try a grassroots approach before selling our souls to the Devil.
Band History:
Formed two years ago, playing tons of radio morning shows, trailer parks, and friends garages. Actually, requests for new material from Porpous are quite high. Bowing down to such popularity in Texas, Porpous is now trying to reach the general public with their messages of goodwill.
Your influences?
Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, Dwight Yoakum, Snoop Dogg, Nirvana, Rush Limbaugh, Joe Rogan
Actually, just a trainwreck of comedy and anti-PC sentiment

Favorite spot?
Texas
Equipment used:
Ibanez guitars, Korg Triton keyboards, computers, tin cans, anything we can get our hands on.
Anything else...?
Expect some really out there stuff from us. We're classified as alternative, but we'll do everything from modern rock to country to smooth jazz and rap. We're not right in the head.
